Small Power, Big Grid, Part 4: DERs AND WHOLESALE MARKETS
The Emerging Relationship between Distributed Energy Resources and the Transmission System.
The Importance of Fuel Flexibility
Many companies dont realize that they can generate their own power on-site and in a cleaner and more cost-effective way.
Can Thermonuclear Fusion Be Used for Energy?
Nuclear fusion has several advantages over nuclear fission. There are no carbon emissions. It is a very energy efficient system and provides abundant fuel.
Reducing Wind Energy Costs through Increased Turbine Size: Is the Sky the Limit?
Berkeley Lab study shows significant potential for further turbine scaling.
Smart Communities - Peña Station NEXT
Just southwest of Denver International Airport (DEN), Peña Station NEXT is an almost-400-acre, transit-oriented development destined to become one of America's leading smart, sustainable mixed-use communities.
Microinverters from Darfon Solar
With the advent of rapid shutdown, we see a move to more Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE).
Update on Energy Storage in the USA
Faster-responding storage allows us to operate the grid more efficiently, instantly balancing fluctuating supply and dynamic demand.
Integrated Energy Systems
Opportunities for solar installers to offer storage as an integral part of their solutions are opening up everywhere, from mitigating the impact of power outages, the increase in distributed renewable generation at times of low use, the rising costs of base and peak power and the trend of some states to reduce or eliminate net metering programs.
Economics Trumps Policy: Even President Trump Cannot Stop the Renewable Energy Juggernaut
The renewable and energy efficiency industries have created over 2.5 million jobs in the United States. Solar now employs more Americans than than oil, natural gas and coal combined. The nations fastest growing occupation is, believe it or not, the wind turbine technician; which is still projected to grow 108% in the next 7 years.
Renewed Interest from Traditional Investors in Renewable Energy
Renewables have now reached such a critical mass, utilities can no longer ignore them as a way to augment their capabilities in producing power cheaper, smarter, better. At this point, the tide has turned for utilities and there is no going back.
Using Nanotechnology to Improve the Efficiency of Solar Cells
Nanostructure-based coating technology provides increased energy efficiency while minimizing costs.
PPE count on Lufft weather sensors for PV Monitoring
The number of metrics measured by the Luffts weather stations in combination with the high accuracy of the sensors gives our customers the ability to forecast short-term and long-term generation capabilities of their site with a high degree of confidence.
The State of the Solar Energy Market in New England
New England has been one of the most receptive regions in the US to renewable energy, and continues to adopt a number of different alternative energy sources.
Addressing Energy Poverty Globally and Profitably. Powerstorm ESS
The technology we are developing, called zeroXess, will provide electricity, lighting and Internet connectivity to rural, off-grid, underdeveloped areas throughout the world.

Parker KleenVent provides closed-loop solution for wind turbine cooling systems
Many 1.5 MW wind turbines use traditional open-loop water/glycol cooling systems. Regular water evaporation in the reservoir elevates the mixture's viscosity, prohibiting cooling of the IGBT and associated critical controls, causing the wind turbine to overheat unless serviced, which in turn means turbine downtime and high maintenance costs. Parker's KleenVent Coolant Evaporation Inhibitor (KV-CEI) is a simple add-on to the legacy cooling system, that eliminates water evaporation in the coolant solution and stops the ingress of airborne contaminants, by enclosing the cooling loop. The KVCEI also removes the need for continuous coolant monitoring during the warm season. Traditional maintenance calls to replenish or rebalance the fluids, take the wind turbine and transformer offline, resulting in significant downtime and revenue loss. Parker's cooling system solution optimizes wind turbine uptime and revenue, reduces maintenance costs and increases overall efficiencies.
